My fully customisable analog gauge for simracing
Heya Everyone,
8-10 months of time on this project and I have made a working fully customisable gauge for sim racing. I would love to get some ideas and suggestions on this.
Details:
Its an 80mm PLA cube. A single USB-C port for power only (5v). I have ran 3 on a Sabrent Powered 7-way USB hub with no issues. The back panel houses all the electronics and gets a little warm, but I never seen more than 35c even after 24hrs.
RGB backlight and a super quiet motor. It uses Wifi to handle the simhub data. A single button for resetting and wifi configuration. I've got the motor speed super low but even in this slower mode it can still go from 0 RPM to 9000 RPM quicker than any road car I know.
I can swap the face plate and needle and so I can customise it for different sims super quick. My end cost for one gauge was about £45. It is 100% possible to do it for much cheaper, I was overly cautious as I was new to electronics. Print time is about 3-4 hours.
End goal is build a dashboard for these to go in.
Cheers !
